The New Zealand accent is a topic of fun for Kiwis as much as it is for others (apart from Australians, probably, for whom it is a bigger source of amusement). In this video, a YouTube humorist who goes by plumedekiwi makes fun of the way Prime Minister John Key talks, and his impression is pitch-perfect.

In his other videos, plumedekiwi parodies John Key more generally, as well as providing tongue-firmly-in-cheek instructional videos on speaking like a Kiwi. The other videos, accessible on plumedekiwi’s YouTube Channel, are well worth a look. Right now, though, I need to go read up on the Rubber Wool Cup.
